Most of my issues really come down to how generic and forgettable the story is. Because if the cast wasn’t as stacked as it is, this movie would’ve definitely gotten a lower rating from me. But overall, if you’re looking for a Dad movie to kick back and watch this week, The Rip is the movie for you!

This film also has some of the most unsettling and gory scenes that I’ve watched in a while. Which made the Jimmies way more scary than they were at the end of 28 Years. Overall, Bone Temple worked a lot better for me than 28 Years did. So I would highly recommend checking it out soon!

I also enjoyed how this movie handled its religious and cult themes. The infected action is scarce, but that’s not really a negative for me because of the great character drama and writing. Also Nia DaCosta’s direction was much more on my wavelength than Danny Boyle’s was in 28 Years.

My only complaints are that some of the characters and their dialogue were pretty insufferable. Also I wish we got to know the characters that I liked a little more before the chaos started. Overall though, Primate is definitely getting added to my animal attack movie rotation!

Also that “Avengers Assemble” moment at the end was laughable. Overall though, if you’re not a fan of the games then I wouldn’t check FNAF 2 out. But I think fans are gonna really enjoy the movie and I’m happy for them if that’s the case. This film was just not for me AT ALL!

I will give the film some credit and say that the score was great, the marionette sequences were pretty creepy, and the animatronics looked fantastic. But it felt like the creative team was more concerned with making an Easter egg hunt for fans rather than writing a good story.

Overall though, I would recommend checking out Keeper for yourself to see where you land on it. Because some people are absolutely loving it! I just was not one of those people unfortunately.

But that’s honestly where my positives end with Keeper. Because this film DRAGS through its first 2 acts. But when it finally picked up the pace my score went up dramatically. The transitions were also pretty distracting at times and they kept taking me out of the movie.

The movie has a good amount of humor and most of it lands. But sometimes it can feel a little off for a Predator movie. That’s honestly my only mixed feeling on the film. Overall I would highly recommend Predator Badlands, even if some of the trailers didn’t fully sell you on it!

The script for this also doesn’t land the themes it’s trying to tackle as effectively as the 1st film did. Leading to some emotional beats that don’t hit nearly as hard as they should’ve. Overall, Black Phone 2 is very solid though & I would recommend it to horror fans but it’s not groundbreaking.

The cinematography is really dope, especially during the dream sequences. This film definitely isn’t afraid to get brutal and the 3rd act had some AWESOME moments. But the movie falls short for me with the meandering pacing it has. Also the dialogue can be pretty bad or corny at times.
